I have some extra money that I've decided to splurge on mirrors but I was wondering if anyone has seen these on an XB or if anyone has any photochop ability to make it happen...? My bike is racing red with gold wheels and a few gold accents so I think this would go well.
Thanks

Indeed! Very nice.

*Edit*

Nice they may be but I am not sure about spending $440 on a set of mirrors...

Get the 1125CR mirrors, they are much cheaper and go on with a little fussing : )

I have been eying the Senso's for sometime. I am worried about the length in relation to where the mirrors go on the S compared to the sportster/vrod? in the photo... Oh, and that is orange.

Still, that's a lot of cash for a mirror. Couldn't you have one custom milled for the same or less?

I'll say probably you could get one or a pair of them custom made for the same or less.

They are $360 for the pair. Not sure where you got $440. I have some money I put away for something that doesn't need it anymore so I decided I like these. Normally I wouldn't spend this much but just look at them! Looks like I'll be going to HD to measure a V-Rod.

I'd rather put a real BiXenon HID (with servo for high/low selection) on my bike, but to each their own.

It does look pretty if you can make it work, but keep the stock mirrors in case you want to sell the bike, not everyone would want something like that and would offer a lower amount because of them.

It looks like it simply takes a regular bolt through it to attach it to the bike. I don't see why it wouldn't work. It may not come with the correct bolt, but a trip to the hardware store should get you good to go.

The only thing would be the length. It'd look goofy if they stuck out past the ends of the bars.

Also, somebody said they are orange and not gold. Good chance they'll look quite different from the gold you already have.

Bro-Man,

Let us know if you do get a chance to measure the V-Rod mirror mount to end of bar length. I suppose I could do it at lunch, the HD dealer is about 5 mins away. According to Rizoma's catalog, the mirror is 204mm in length. Good luck!

DOOM

No wait. All you have to do is measure your bike, I just gave you the mirror length.

from the center of the mirror stem to the end of the grip measures about 7 1/4" on the vrods we have sitting here. the city x we have here measures similarly
